He Didn't Have To He
m
When a single mom goes out on. a date with somebody new
ft always winds up feeling more like a job interview
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around ami run
1 met I lit* man I call my dad when 1 was eight years old
And lie loved my mom and this little hoy that needed self control
A few years later I remember lying there in bed
I heard that he had popped the question and I was glad that she said, yes
And then all of a sudden
Oil, it seemed so strange to me
How we went from something's missing
To a family
LooLiu' back all I can say
About all the things he did for me
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
That lie didn't have to be
I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago
We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somcthin' more
Mow here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
Crowded, 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in
And now all of a sudden
It seemed so strange to me
How we've gone from something's in.issi.iig
To a family
Look in' through the glass 1. think about the. man
That's stand in' next to me
Anil I hope I'm at least half the dacl
That lie didn't have to lie
.Loofcin' back all I ean say
.About all the things he did for me
Is I hope I'm at .least half the dad
That he didn't have to lie
Yeah, 1 hope I'm at. least half the dad
That lie didn't have to lie
Because he didn't have to be
You know he didn't have to lie
